Nikola Jovic Questionable for Thunder Game

Miami Heat forward Nikola Jovic is set to return to action after recovering from a left ankle sprain, which he sustained following a standout performance against the Toronto Raptors. Jovic, who has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, expressed optimism about his recovery, stating he feels nearly 100 percent. Despite missing Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons, Jovic participated fully in Thursday’s practice and is eager to play, pending approval from the training staff. His recent injury followed a game where he scored 14 points and contributed significantly to the Heat's win. Jovic has had an inconsistent presence in the Heat's rotation, partly due to previous injuries and coach's decisions. His potential return comes as the team faces back-to-back games, with Jovic aiming to capitalize on any playing opportunities given the recent trade of a fellow reserve player.
